What is Leader 360?

Leader360 is a comprehensive 360 assessment designed to help leaders understand and strengthen the capabilities that matter most.

Developed in response to a consistent challenge from HR leaders, finding a 360 tool that is both practical and future-focused, Leader360 bridges the gap between complex psychometric instruments and overly simplistic feedback tools.

Many established assessments require significant effort to interpret, often limiting a leader’s ability to translate insight into action. Simpler tools, while accessible, can lack relevance to the realities leaders are navigating.

Leader360 was designed to address both.

Grounded in research and shaped by decades of experience working with leaders, it focuses on 14 high-impact leadership capabilities across personal, team, and strategic domains. It provides a clear, evidence-based view of how leaders show up and where to focus to improve their effectiveness.


Personal Leadership

Building self-awareness, resilience, mental agility, and a clear sense of purpose, enabling leaders to adapt and respond effectively in changing environments.


Team Leadership

Strengthening a leader’s ability to build high-performing teams through accountability, engagement, and the development of others.


Strategic Leadership

Broadening perspective, strengthening decision-making, and building the capability to contribute to organisational priorities and stakeholder outcomes.

Built for today’s leadership context

Engaging and developing talent has become a core leadership responsibility

Employee expectations have evolved significantly. Leaders are now expected to actively engage, develop, and retain their people through consistent coaching, meaningful feedback, and a clear sense of purpose.

Leader360 captures these capabilities through three dimensions:

  1. Generates Engagement
  2. Develops People
  3. Demonstrates Personal Purpose
The Leader360 model reflects three shifts shaping leadership effectiveness.

Leaders must continuously adapt to strategic change

The pace of change requires leaders to actively broaden their perspective, engage diverse stakeholders, and make informed decisions in uncertain conditions.

Four dimensions explicitly illustrate these capabilities in Leader360:

  1. Broadens Perspectives
  2. Fosters Stakeholder Relationships
  3. Drives Strategy
  4. Makes Effective Decisions

Inclusion now requires deliberate leadership action

Attracting diversity is no longer enough. Leaders must actively create the conditions where different perspectives are leveraged to improve thinking, decision-making, and performance. This requires leaders to recognise and work against natural cognitive biases, while maintaining accountability and focus.

Leader360 reflects this through five dimensions:

  1. Promotes Accountability
  2. Personal Awareness
  3. Mental Agility
  4. Action Orientation
  5. Creates conditions for Psychological Safety

Building self-awareness that drives action

Leader360 enables a level of self-awareness that acts as a catalyst for meaningful development.
Through structured feedback and comparison between self-perception and peer input, leaders gain a clearer understanding of both their strengths and their blind spots.

This allows them to:

  1. Identify the capabilities that will have the greatest impact on their effectiveness
  2. Focus their time and energy where it matters most
  3. Translate insight into targeted development actions

The result is not just awareness, but clarity and direction.

Practical reports providing detailed insights

Leader360 provides detailed personal, team and strategic leadership insights, which help leaders to understand their blind spots and what they need to focus on in their development.

From insight to targeted development

Leader360 is designed not just to diagnose, but to inform action.

The insights generated can be directly applied to:

  • Leadership development programs
  • Targeted coaching and workshops
  • Succession and talent development conversations

As Leader360 is integrated into the MentorKey platform, it becomes a powerful entry point into a broader, digitally enabled development journey, connecting insight directly to ongoing learning, reflection, and behaviour change.
By grounding development in data, organisations can focus their investment where it will have the greatest impact.

Designed for real-world application

  • Covers 14 critical leadership capabilities through an 85-question survey
  • Takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete
  • Separates development from performance evaluation, enabling more open and constructive feedback
  • Provides detailed, actionable insights at an individual level

Turns feedback into leadership impact

At its core, Leader360 helps leaders answer three critical questions:

    • Where am I most effective today?
    • Where are my blind spots?
    • What should I focus on next?
